January Transfer Thread 2017

[MichiganToffee-NSNO]

Whoever we get, it's clear that the club want a top class CB and if we're after the likes of Giminez/Manolas/VVD then we'll suddenly be right in the spotlight.

If any of these go down we must all bow and hail our Mosh overlord

 

[hktoffee]

Manolas has suffered with a number of small niggling injuries this season. Maybe Roma would look to cash in.

I think if we buy from foreign leagues the players will be cheaper. Gimenez or Monolas will cost a bit less than Van Dijk surely.

 

[Neiziro]

Does he not get in the first team or something?

He's only one of if not THE most sought after young defender in Europe right now.

 

[Amw79]

Would be fascinating to hear Koeman and Walsh planning their next move.

 

[blulouie]

VVD will be on the radar of Chelsea, City and United come the summer. It's now or never. Very slim chance but he loved working with Koeman and now after the purchase of schneiderlin his ex team mate, just might consider us as an option.

Two really good points there mate.

 

[Connor]

Can he defend / does he have pace

Yes and Yes (to a point)

He is quality. I'm all in on him.

 

[bluestevon]

If we've opened with a 40m bid for VVD, then unless we won't budge on it, thats gonna end up a fee saints will find hard to turn down

as for gimenez, oeeeeeer

 

[Deco]

Can he defend / does he have pace

 

[Dutch Toffee]

WRD has said we've bid £40m for Van Dijk and Gimenez is on the radar too...

Just get both, who cares about monopoly money anyway?

 

[MichiganToffee-NSNO]

Does he not get in the first team or something?

He would easily be first team here.

 

[voodoobloo]

WRD just posted

Been told that we have or are bidding £40m for Van Dijk and have also turned out attention to Giminez too. Trying to get the Dutch lad before others pounce in the summer.

On the winger, not got a name yet other than he is Italian or in the Italian leagues. Hopefully have something shortly.

I was told in the Summer that we were very close to signing Keita Baldé Diao from Lazio - could be him?

 

[AaronTheBlue]

He's only one of if not THE most sought after young defender in Europe right now.

Honestly haven't watched hardly any Spanish football over the past two years so must have just missed out on this lad

 

[4737carlin]

Is this real life?

Is this just fantasy?

 

[Brownie]

If we sign VVD the rest of the league will be like

 

[Deco]

If any of these go down we must all bow and hail our Mosh overlord

Mr Moshiri is the real deal my friend. Just like WRD said, we also have Usmanov's backing which I believe makes us the second wealthiest club in terms of owner wealth.
